if your projects/bundles are have a clean package separation then you should 
just export exactly this one using Export-Package. 
say for project "cake" <Export-Package>org.cheese.cake.*<Export-Package>
The Export-Package section of 
http://cwiki.apache.org/FELIX/maven-bundle-plugin-bnd.html describes the 
behaviour pretty good. 
As Stuart described, you may use an appropriate scope upfront for your 
dependencies but using a plain asterisk for export-package is always not the 
osgi-way ;-) Better try to be explicit.
